description

In contrast to the conventional picture, the r-process yields in the A≃80 abundance peak exhibit a pronounced odd-even staggering. It is proposed that this behaviour may be due to strong β-delayed neutron branching from a few odd-mass isotopes located in or close to the r-process path.
